How much are these campus radios listened to however? We also had one at the university that I went to and I never listend to it, but the people who ran it moved on to become radio journalists at private and public radios. Things have changed during the past ten years with the internet and the different technology and amongst the universities listed there are a few rather large ones like Münster with 39,000 students and the others with 17,000 students. The Smiths ONLY became big in the U.S.A. because they and R.E.M. were the darlings of U.S. American college radio. Their music was also played at school discos in Germany, which made them known I'd say. That's where I first heard How Soon Is Now anyway, eventhough I have no clue how I ever know that THIS were The Smiths. It is something that I cannot dig out of my memory, it's not there, gone. I DO hope however that this does NOT refresh any interest in this guy with his racist, evil, f***ed up fans who enjoys to take the money but does not even try to hide that it is the least place where he'd want to play. I saw with delight that by now his records are really mainly off the record shelved, where lots used to be stocked. Never to be return there, I am surely hoping. Germany used to be a major of his, but totally unjustified. Why on earth Rockpalast even gave The Smiths an early television exposure is beyond me, but then again the WDR likes to use other people's money to further its own agenda or better the creeps who work there. Where 1Live was once established to sponsor local bands, they are now mainly wasting the money on setting up concerts for American and British arseholes that everybody could well do without.
Apart from this, did you see the article in DIE ZEIT saying that there have always been homosexual muslims? What an amazing coinsidence. Not really. Only shows that Morrissey really is a complete tool. That Johnny Marr also had an opportunity to voice his bullshit in the "I had a dream" section last year I saw recently. So the "it is their home, I am not welcomed no more" was obviously about him, that anybody really needs to know... why do such people always get a platform? They are full of themselves, nothing else. Why do such people constantly get the exposure? Because again, it matches that of the media wankers. I went to see an 80s band last week and I was horrified by all the people singing along to the 80s songs. WHEN will this finally stop that people are so easily influenced? I am wishing the days of sheetmusic back when people went to buy sheetmusic to play their own music at home. Seriously.
